New Mama Diary

The curious toddler!

I love breast feeding ❤️ ever since we completed our sleep training (it was horrible) R hardly breast feed to sleep. But occasionally on the weekend when I'm alone with my sweet boy at home, we share a some bonding time together where he will snuggle and breastfeed to sleep.

Kokoro Snow Koneko size 4. I love it!!!!!!!!! Sea island cotton is the best!!! I still think this will make a perfect new born wrap. But I will find out later I guessed.

New wrap new wrap new wrap...!!! Roro's favorite carry!!! Ruck.. The simpler to better. I can't do fancy shamcy finished that takes too long. It needs to be short and sweet!!! This wrap is amaZing. It's a bloomy loom silver and turquoise cat!!! I love the color. This is my first second hand buy on a swap site. I was a little concern but also very excited. Second hand wraps have a great quality to them they are usually broken in already. When I first felt it, it didn't seem smooth like my Kokoro Koneko Snow but that is a unfair comparison. A little rough but still very floppy. I was a little hesitant to wrap Roro with a 6 since he Hated the koneko snow size 6. So I decided to throw him in a ruck and nothing else fancy. He was happy and content!! He didn't lean or straighten his legs. Wrapping win!!!! However usually a size 6 for a simple ruck seems a little long. I will attempt a DH some day. I have traded my size 6 koneko snow for a size 4!!! Roro will LOVe Kokoro!!!

How do you entertain your toddlers??? Apparently a wool laundry ball and a laundry basket is all it takes!!!

Cake smash!! When I saw the picture on Pinterest I was sold. Roro needs to do a cake smash! Every thing was great. The cake was beautiful , the props were perfect, even the little monster himself was feeling great. He had a blast. He was happy and focus on this complete sensory overload. The shoot took about an hour and our photographer was wonderful. She was organize and professional. We would definitely commission her again. I have done some reflection on this whole experience and I have concluded it was a bit wasteful. The cake was barely eaten and a majority of it ended up in the compose although the cake was delicious. When we do this again with future baby we will just do a themed one year old photo shoot to commemorate this milestone and eat the perfectly decorated cake!

My love of wrapping. Since i have been back to work i have found less time to snuggle with Roro. So wrapping to the rescue! Every morning I will throw him in a back carry while I prepare breakfast and lunch for us. This gives us more snuggle time. Bonus Roro likes to watch me cook! This is a Fidella size 4 all cotton wrap. I am no expert as i have only started wrapping 3 months ago but im so in love with this wrap!!!! It is wide and soft. We only have 2 wraps at home at the moment and one otw, but ROro gets really excited when he sees me pulling this one out!

My new challenge will be a good balance between work and home. Since I will not be at home 24/7, both R and I have some major adjusting to do. I want to be able to give R the same amount of care in less amount of time. I have read many blogs and they all tell me the same thing, quality over quantity!

Fluffy bum!!

Plus all the other wonderful reason to take the plunged. Happy CDing everyone!!!

But I’m here to start talking about my new found love of cloth diapers and my new adventure in baby wearing. Ever since R I have become more environmentally cautious especially when his eczema broke out. It broke my heart. Looking at his red face the doctor told me to use less chemical. Although all he said was use non-fragrance detergent. Being the over protective new mommy I took it to the next level. I started looking for chemical free alternatives! It began with detergent of course… Then the mild obsession began…….. I started researching about homemade lotion…. The next time I know I’m buying cloth diapers… I still have no clue how that happen!!! Now I have build my first stash of diapers…. Baby wearing has creep into my mind…..
